You are seriously making an argument that it isn't a big deal to have the equivalent of the Boston bombings on a weekly basis?
An alien invasion is like an acute bacterial infection. You suddenly feel ill, you wish you are dead, and then you either die from it or you recover. Win or lose, a zero sum game.
Non-stop permanent terror attacks that never end, because your taxes is funding the purchase of the IEDs? That's like a chronic disease in the form of Hepatitis B. You get to live for a very long while, but you NEVER get better. There is no "war" or "peace", there is just "a little bit of war every morning".
Is it undramatic for a feature film? Yeah. But if you think what matters is being dramatic, then maybe you got to reconsider why superheroes do what they do.
And one more thing. The people making the film stated that they know they can't even TRY to beat Avengers in being grandiose. That's why they made a more down to Earth story this time. This is a smaller scale story focusing on Tony Stark, not about saving the galaxy.
